This video is going to give you some much needed information. It starts off by showing you how turn the major scale into chords, which essentially explains what a key is. If you know the chords and the scale that match, you know the key. That also explains what certain scales sound good with certain chords, because those scales literally create those chords.

It works like this, you have a scale, which is a set of 7 notes, the only exception being the pentatonic scale which is actually more for jamming than anything else, and the chromatic scale which is all 12 notes in the western world. These 7 notes can be transformed into chords, together those chords and that scale create what is called a "key" and that key is what you use to create and compose music. It makes sense that the scale used to create the chords would sound good when you play it over the chords because they are the same notes!
